Ledyard came tearing into Friday's matchup with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Stonington Bears with a sharp 14-1 win. Considering the Colonels have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Alexia Lemmon spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Ledyard got a massive performance out of Skylar Cimino, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one double. Those four hits gave Cimino a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Mackenzie Caise, who went 2-for-4 with five RBI, one run, and one double.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Ledyard kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in four consecutive games.

Ledyard pushed their record up to 17-3 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. As for Stonington, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-6 record this season.

Stonington will take on Waterford at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Ledyard will be paying especially close attention to the Bears' contest: after the Bears face off against Lyman Memorial, they'll take on Ledyard again at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
